Example of a motion of actuator PX200 CAP operated with the d-Drivepro.

Due to the high resolution of the amplifier (24 Bit) and capacitive sensor, small steps in sub-nanometer range (0.7 nm) can be resolved.

Summary

Digital Piezo Controller - d-Drive pro

The new piezo controller d-Drivepro has a compatible instruction set to that of the existing d-Drive® series. As with the standard d-Drive® all digital piezo actuators can be controlled via PC. The digital piezo controller d-Drivepro also shares the same great features including: freely programmable frequency generator, adjustable slew-rate, as well as notch and low pass filters.

The d-Drivepro also allows for the exchanging of actuators in the field through Automatic Sensor Identification (ASI) and Automatic Sensor Calibration (ASC). The new integrated Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) offers the users of the digital piezo controller d-Drive pro entirely new possibilities with the highest flexibility. Special highlights include the high 24 bit resolution and simultaneous control of up to 3 axes. The interfaces available to the user are RS232, USB and Ethernet as well as an analog modulation input and monitor output. The output current of a single axis is adjustable up to 300 mA.
